Plans

It was the day before Micsnare’s birthday. B2c and Crankl checked the hashes around our home graticule, the plan was to collect the tron achievement, because this was Micsnare’s biggest wish. She tortured us with the question “Can we try tron?” every time we started a trip, so this was the perfect moment to end this.

Unfortunately the nearest hash was at Neusiedler Lake, and it was not the right season to charter a boat. So B2c and Crankl planned and planned and planned, after an hour we came up with a route, which could support the tron achievement but we were not planning to tell Micsnare about it. This should be the big birthday surprise.

We had planned the route precisely in google maps, now all we had to do is to transfer the route to our android phones. This task was harder than expected. It took about 30-40 minutes and about 1 million internet searches until we found a solution.


If anybody is interested to do the same here is the solution:

First step, plan the route on https://www.google.at/maps

Now create a short URL, this is done by clicking the gear icon in the right corner at the bottom.

This URL you have to copy paste into an E-Mail, it is important that this E-Mail is in html format.

Now you should have a clickable link within the Mail, something like this https://goo.gl/maps/qFJb3

Send the mail to your android phone and click the link.

When asked open the link with google maps, now the planned route should be available for turn by turn navigation.
